They were shopping for clothes, napping in a dorm lounge, playing golf. And somebody called the police. They were guests at a community pool, and one woman called the police, threatened them, even hit one of them. The common thread in all these stories: white people calling the cops on black people just living their lives. Sadly, it’s nothing new. We’re just suddenly seeing it on all those videos gone viral.
The Undefeated: "Shaming white people might stop some of them from calling 911 on us" Rolling Stone: "Why White Women Keep Calling the Cops on Black People" — Vox: "Why white people keep calling the cops on black Americans" — The Guardian: "The policing of black Americans is racial harassment funded by the state" — Detroit Free Press: "Riley: Calling cops on people because of race should be a crime"

Dozens? hundreds?
If we stop calling police on black people, there’s gonna be a LOT of dispatchers out of work.
Stop committing ALL the crime!
Quick, someone call for an Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance.
I don’t know the full stories of these incidents.
I doubt it was as simple as calling the police because these people were Black.
Businesses and public places have rules about what you can and can’t do. If people don’t comply with those rules, phone calls to the police can result.
I would not support a call simply based on skin color generally, but I can think of a few instances where a woman might feel vulnerable if a rough looking Black man were hanging out near her, and she needed to go home and didn’t feel safe.
I would think along the same lines if a dicey looking White guy were hanging around and she didn’t feel safe.
Some of the dispatchers get even by sitting on their hands or hanging up
Obvious question...
Do White people acting Black count?
Cultural appropriation?
Violent uncontrolled thug behavior?
Just curious...
All articles like this always paint the Blacks as just innocent angles just minding their own business. But more often than not it is their actions that trigger the call to the cops. Some asked to leave or quiet down and their response is to verbally attack the employee because the person is racist. This is not always the case, but after reading these episodes when they come up, it is often the Black’s actions that result in the police being called.
innocent angle?? acute or obtuse?
“Stop breaking the law, a**h***.” (Liar, Liar)
sad but true....
Sounds like it’s just not working because we white people are too racist. Maybe we should separate, or would that also be racist?
Some of them do sound like some white people have issues with non-whites (generally white people in liberal cities...) but others seem to legitimate complaints.
Like the one with blacks barbecuing in the park.
IIRC there was no barbecuing in that area of the park.
Another is black girls shouting outside an open window on a hot day.
Some of these calls are because people (black people) broke a rule or were doing something obnoxious.
Last night, my driveway camera detected motion. I switched it on and there were two black males standing in my driveway talking about 6 feet from my car. I grabbed a gun and opened the garage door, but stayed inside the garage. They walked away.
So, if you don’t like white people calling the cops, don’t do suspicious stuff. I would have done the exact same thing with white males, but they probably walked off thinking that I was being a racist for wanting them to get out of my driveway after dark.
This narrative is really being pushed. Every time an idiot white person calls the cops on black folks over something frivolous, notice I said frivolous, it hits the news like it’s the norm. It irritates me to no end. Imagine if crimes were reported that way.
youse a parinoid whitey aint youse!
I’ve noticed a lot of these stories for the last month or so. Yes, there are idiot white people out there. No, the vast vast majority of white people aren’t racist idiots.
The left-media continues to divide.
Here’s a different take on the issue.
Democrats and “black leaders” have said any and all negative actions by whites are the result of racism.
If the white person argues with a black person, regardless of what the black person did, they’re periodically accused of tone policing at best, falsely accused of using ethnic slurs frequently, and sometimes the victim of faked hate crimes.
Liberals have made it impossible for a white person to have a dispute with a black person. Try to tell the black mother to control a child making a mess, get called racist, risk a threatening mob and negative press. Ask a black person not to play music too loud or otherwise disturb the peace, risk fake racism accusations. Fake hate crimes are common and rarely if ever prosecuted.
What if it gets physical? If the black person assaults you, they’ll get a lesser sentence than if you did the same, and you’d be hit with a hate crime on top of it. A group of blacks engaging in the “knockout game” or “polar bear hunting” are rarely sought by police and no one mentions the racist aspect of it.
DEFEND yourself in a physical assault, and the race baiters will charge you with a crime and have institutional backing.
So what do you do with suspected black criminals? What can you do when blacks are disturbing the peace? The only SAFE LEGAL thing you CAN do .... call the police.
The police will document the incident. They’ll mediate if necessary, and the odds you’re assaulted go way down. The risk of retaliatory violence by blacks likewise goes down, because the police were called and the formal record of events is established. This increases the safety factor of calling the police, whereas asking a loiterer to leave risks half a dozen others coming to gang-loot the business later while police do nothing or a retaliatory group attack on the white is dismissed as random violence.
Liberals don’t like this, but they need to know that it is the logical result of their policies. YOU CREATED THIS.
When you said that blacks can’t be held to the same standards as everyone else, that we’re all incapable of understanding and getting along, just run to Mommy government to take care of everyone and everything ... the default solution IS running to the police to solve the problem and protect everyone involved.
When individuals are responsible and can rely on themselves or, at most, community institutions to resolve things, you don’t have cops called for tantruming kindergartners and loiterers because everyone is too afraid to DO anything.
When one questions Black People about their intentions, what is the likelihood of confrontation?
When one questions ALL OTHER people on the planet about their intentions, what is the likelihood of confrontation?
Call the cops.
Any claims of bias are statically ridicules because zero white on white complaints are being reported.
